recent communication In the New York
EUt1.illg Post says: When duties were in-
creased to meet the war expenses, the cry
was, "proteet American industry, and 1t
will soon be independent; American smart.
ness, inventiveness and shrewdness Will
soon thrive without protection" Since
then the cry has been, Protect little
longer, and, II possible, raise duties little
mole. Duties are blessing; the higher
they are, the more wages can be paid"
And what are the facts 2 Manufacturers
have nearly all gained so enormously that
they have constantly Increased their
factories until their supply exceeded the
home demand. Thus competition ought to
reduce prices to the survival OF the httest,
and give the people cheap goods, and allow
exports, and thus increase production and
activity. But manufacturers knew better.
Outside competition had been stopped by
the duties; inside competition must be
stopped also. And they went to WORK,
each branch by itself, and formed combina-
tons and trusts, closing factories and limit
ing production to the needs of the American
people, forcing 1t to pay them the profits to
which they were aecustOmed-not tho
profits on their original Investments, but
the profits on their capital, enormously In
creased by nearly 20 years OF protective
duties. And, OF course, duties are bless
ing to them, as their prices are made Just
| high enough to prevent importation and
| foreign competition. Many manufacturers
even have arranged theirtrusts to have one
price for home consumption and another
much cheaper for export, by giving large
| discounts TO exporters. The export price
pays them, but their trust or combine" on
| abies them to exact more from their good
| natured fellow-citizens who obltgingly pro
/ tect them.
These are facts. OF course there are somt
exceptions, but very few.

PTrTsBuRa, Jan. 10.-A great contest be-
tween the Bessemer steel rail maDufac-
turers and the railroad managers has been
going on for several months and thereds no
sign Of a settlement. Two years ago the
steel rail manufacturers organized the Bes-
semer Steel Association, controlling the
eleven steel rail mills of the country, and
better prices than exciting rates, $27 per
ton. The movement was very quiet one,
but Il effected the desired result quickly.
The restriction In manufacturing caused an
active market, and the railroads began TO
compete with each other Tor rails. Prices
exceeded all expectations, running up to
$40 per ton. The railroad people had been
caught, aud they were bled profusely. Last
summer, however, anumber of the railroad
presidents concluded TO play the same kind
OF a game and turned the tables on the mill
lionalre steel rail manufacturers. They
agreed not to purchase any rails for 1883
delivery, nor mako any improvements or
extensions until the price was reduced TO
$50 per ton. Steel rails have not come
down to this figure. The manufacturers
have concluded to try their own endurance,
and see II they are not composed OF as good
staying qualities as the rails they mRnufac-
| ture. They have In turn, on one preteyt or
| another-some to make repairs, 6e.--eloeed
| down, until to-day all the steel rail mills oil
| the country are Idle. The manufacturers
| still demand from 733 to 1856 per ton fol
their rails, and the railroad men say; "KeeI
| your rates at these figures. We don't want
the rails"
| The result OF the shutdown Is, OF course
| a big reduction In the demand for coke
and for the first time In year, perhaps
the Oonnellsville coal operators have al
the cars they want.

standing by to sac fair play. The way the
count WAS made was very Imaginable. The
purchasing fowl would place grain OF

would examine 1t critically, rake it TO one

left. The corn received would have fillet

RIenty OF Throwing and Catching
t~ Rut Nc BmtR i'm IT,

The following is from 1.-THE Amuse.
ments Of Arab Obildrsn,n by Henry W.
Jessup, In 80. Nicholas fer January;
We come now to the most interestii 8 OF
the Arab games--iesred, or "spears." al.
though Ihaye mentioned IL as perhaps the
only national game, II is not, however,
played so much nor soingrossingly as base
ball ID in this country. 1t II hard TO gather
enough players to make il interesting,
for Il Ia an imitation OF real warfare,
and requires numbers The establish
msut OF q college like that at Beirut
brought together body Of young men,
aud It wan not long before the game was
orgaaizad. Certain students soon came
TO be recognized as leaders, and thn
SPORT was for time indaiged in; hut
whether the sudden laneuishing OF the
palne was due 10 the interference OF The
faculty of the college or net, it is certain
/ that 81 me intluence WINS brought TO bear
and ths game was, for the time, stopped.
The general plan of tho game Is % fol
lows;
Sides are chosen by the leaders, and lines
| marked out, about spears throw apart.
\ This distance varies with the size aud
strength Of the players, thirty yards being
q fair average. Each player has blunt
wooden spe8r, about the shape of bill
/ lard cue, only not so small in proportion
at the smaller end. 1t ia shaped in such
a way that when balanced on the finger and
then grasped, it will not be held al
the middle, but at point a little nearer
the larger end. A jereed player mus
possess skill in two ways: He must bt
able to hurl the spear far and true, aud alst
to catch spear, when thrown at him, 81
1t goes by. This sounds more Difficult
than it really is. The player lodges a
the spear approaches, SO that 1t will shoe
past his side, the right side, if possible
land then, as it passes him, he sweeps j
in with his hand and brings it down to to
side, reversing it 80 as to throw il bacl
again, all in moment.
The object of the game is for one sid
to drive the other side back and to oC
eupy its line. But 1t is not 80 rough
game Is this purpose would seem TO in
ply. Not half SO many accidents ceeu
sin base. ball, audit is notnearly oroug
as foot ball, since the object of the garn
can be attsiued very easily and quick
by throwing the spear over the head
, your opponent;for then he has torun baC
and pick up his spear, and that not onl
] weakens the enemies line, but gives then
for the time, one less spear-thrower.
